Wednesday Wish List No. 13

Happy Wednesday, friends!

In honor of Polka Dotted Blue Jay's third birthday, I thought it was only appropriate to round up another batch of my favorite Anthropologie items as well as some similar items (read: less expensive) for the second Anthro Hack here on the blog. Hooray!

Now onto the pretties!

1. There is just something I love about cozy chairs. If I ever have a foyer, you had better believe there will be a cozy chair or chaise nearby! And a tufted chair? I am practically giddy. The Orianna from Anthropologie actually comes in several pretty colors and I am digging the sapphire right now. The Devon from World Market is a steal at under $200 and I love the funky front legs!

2. Are these two twins or what? The Anthro pillow versus the Etsy one - the main difference is the price point, wouldn't you agree?

3. Anthropologie has a section online for gifts (under house & home on the main page) with lots of fun party supplies, including THIS tassel garland. When I found THIS one on Etsy I couldn't believe I actually liked it more than the Anthropologie one! The addition of gold is divine and at almost 60 percent less than the Anthro version, I would choose Etsy any day of the week!

5. Anthroplogie Zinc letters retail for a billion dollars. Ok, not quite a billion dollars but the price point made me do a double take. They are beautiful and everything, but I am more inclined to go the Etsy route and pick up these ones from A Fresh Coat of Paint or even do them myself!

6. I honestly couldn't decide which monogram hook I preferred. The Anthro ceramic ones or the ones I discovered at World Market (I am sensing a HUGE trend that many of my Anthro-Hack finds are coming from World Market.)

7. Every lady needs a bar cart in her house! Without a bar cart, how would I make a martini? Without a martini, how would I greet my man at the door? And without that, what would be the point of donning and adorable dress and apron to greet him? Yes, I am an extremely old soul. This bar cart from Anthro would be lovely, but I also adore the one I found on Etsy for a fraction of the price even with shipping!

8. In an effort to snap myself out of the 1950's stupor from number seven, I picked a necklace that wasn't exactly pearls. But let's be real, I adore pearls, and the 50's for that matter, and wear my earrings almost every day and have a half dozen necklaces. The multiple strands on the Anthropologie necklace are striking, but the Forever21 version is lovely too.

I love finding less expensive versions of some of my favorite Anthro items and I hope you do too.

If you can't help yourself and you MUST have the $198 "You Are My Sunshine" pillow, I will help you out with an Anthropologie coupon. It is the least I can do.

Happy Wednesday friends, the weekend is in sight!
